Neck through notched into blocks added to the side wood. Also added a plate under the bridge area. The top wood is very thin and has a void on the ply inside. It woul sag in from the string pressure otherwise.

I’m not sure but my Walnut panel should hold some strength Bones. I’m not happy with the box top or back. It’s very thin and cheap plywood. Inside on one piece plyes we’re separating so I glued and clamped the separation. The side wood is nice with decent hinges with screws and great box corners. The print is very nice. The outside is pre finished so it would be a lot of sanding to get it off so I could paint or stain the box. I like to relic things. A clean box is not my style. I might ravage it with coarse files and beat it up some. Coarse sandpaper too. I can’t do much to the bottom or top. I just gave it a coat of poly to start finish on the neck and box. I didn’t touch the top.

Looks like that box has great support now .
